Does anyone know if react still have the coffee contract? Haven't seen any for ages

I had it from the horse's mouth that their was a double load in the last wave because the client didn't want any done for one month. I am told that normal service will resume!

Ah that explains why I was buzzing more than usual last time. I thought I had a few more than normal.

Looks like the new allocator has settled in now also and knows who to accept etc now as everything I've applied for lately I've got and pretty quickly as well.

Depends on which side of the fence you are, I've never been accepted for a job with them yet...no chance to shine! :rotfl:

Yep, if you're doing a buffet, it's the everything buffet - pizza, pasta and salad.

Was pleased - and surprised - to see there was a fairly decent reimbursement AND a small fee for the job!

Really? My reimbursement and fee combined still didn't quite cover the cost of a medium pizza! Do I just live in a really expensive area or something?

I only did it because it was quite handy after a heavy weekend...

And I've got one of the usual ones. I booked a job. Not my first with RE by any means! I received an emal reminding me two days before the job was due. I received a phone call the day before. I received another email on the day. I received another phone call on the day. As my daughter answered this second phone call, she rolled her eyes. I said, very loudly, "If that's RE, and they're ringing me to remind me about tonight's job, they can stick their ****** job if they can't trust me to do it without four reminders. If it is RE, just remind them that I have NEVER EVER dropped one of their jobs, and tell them that their time and money would be better spent chasing those who do drop jobs."

The caller apparently seemed a bit sheepish!

hmm.. so that's why the phone ALWAYS goes straight to voicemail when I phone up in order to proceed on one of their jobs that you can't do until, for some strange reason, until you get them to confirm the location details that are written in the questionnaire... I thought it was because I tend to phone during lunch but maybe its because they are too busy hassling people with reminders!

I've never had phone call or email reminders BEFORE the event. It may be it's just for a job I've never done

I have just registered with UK Mystery Shopper Employment Agency and stupidly paid the registration fee of £22.99 (originally £34.00 but I got a reduced rate!!). They sent me a list of businesses in the USA when I had specifically stated UK and have since read that they are scammers. They advertise a full refund if you cancel your membership within 60 days which I have tried to do. There was no way of cancelling the membership on their website so have sent them an e-mail and also requested a refund from them through Paypal.

I have now received an e-mail from them saying that I have to print of a cancellation form, complete it (with my name, address etc) and post it to them in India!! Some PLEASE help me. What should I do? Continue to a claim through a Paypal even though the company has provided me with a solution? I dont fancy sending my details through the post to India!
